Answer 13

West Indian batsman George Alphonso Headley was known as the 'Black Bradman'. A magnificent batsman, he was surpassed only by Bradman. He carried the batting for what was a weak West Indies side through the 1930s, and returned to captain them in their first post-war Test, the first black man to do so

George Alphonso Headley is still known as the "Black Bradman" and during his career West Indians jokingly called Bradman the 'white Headley'. He scored 29% of his sides' runs in his career - the highest ever percentage, even more than Bradman's 27% and was also nicknamed 'Atlas' for he way he carried his team. Only Lord Constantine can match his influence on the formative days of West Indian test cricket. Headley was also an excellent fielder and occasional leg-break bowler.

Answer 14

George Headley, born May 30 1909, died November 30 1983, was a West Indian batsman who played in 22 Tests between 1930 and 1954, scoring 2190 runs at an average of 60.83.

His scoring feats led to him being dubbed the black Bradman. Headley's admirers responded to this by calling Bradman the white Headley.

Answer 15

Brian Lara is closest to Bradman but I personally have never heard any one calling him " Black Brademen".

Answer 16

George Headley is Black Bradman but CGG, did you forgot Sachin's 241* against Australia in Sydney 2004.
